Bypass Microsoft Account on Windows 11 22H2 Setup

It is extremely frustrating that, beginning with 22H2, Microsoft is now requiring a Microsoft account to set up Windows 11. In the past you could just disconnect the ethernet and you would have the option to continue with limited setup. Starting with 22H2 Microsoft no longer allows you to setup Windows with a local account. Newsflash Microsoft, not all people have, or even want to use, a Microsoft account.

This video shows a work around that will allow you to install Windows 11 as a local account. I have no doubt that Microsoft will eventually prevent this from working but as of 22H2 is does.

Just what I was looking for! I've seen in in other longer videos, but the process is always buried in an unlabeled section of the video.

Such a stupid thing for them to do..

Most PCs dont even have eithernet drivers when you install windows till you get to the desktop and add them by usb so you would be stuck without the work around!!!!

Great video. I do custom builds for friends and family and its been on the back of my mind how I would bypass the MS account when someone finally requests a w11 build.

It still isn't working. It is not giving the 'i don't have internet' option.
